"Evocative; a beautiful symphony of nature, childhood, and the wild-ness in both." "A keen power of observation; skilled writing; beautiful and evocative descriptions." The New York Times Spelling Bee attracts a large following of enthusiastic word lovers who delight in ferreting out a hidden list of words of from a seemingly-random array of seven letters. A handful of Bee solvers delights in the challenge of composing poetry, essays, and humorous items with words from the daily puzzle. Bee-songs and essays compiles a selection of work by one of these "Hive poets" known as "peregrine from the rocky shore." This volume, the first in a series, includes the complete 50-poem series of Bee-songs, short poems that celebrate the beauty and diversity of the photographs in The New York Times daily Spelling Bee forum, including several not previously published; thirty-five essays on natural history, childhood reminiscences, farm life, and the rocky shore, inspired by words in the Spelling Bee puzzle; and a farrago of humorous essays, poems, and parodies offered in affectionate appreciation of the Spelling Bee and its lively online community.
